Jade Essence is a weak  Earth Gathering Qi item of range 3 and a very weak  Earth Element Emitter of range 2. It is the stronger version of the  Stone Essence. Its relative availability early-game makes it a frequent component in  Metal Cultivation Rooms. Its low element emit range also makes it suitable to be used at range 3 to add its Gather Qi without altering Element Composition.
